First of all, not sure where you are in your IVF journey, but best of luck to you and your husband! I know an Internet Stranger’s Opinion matters little, but I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of.

It’s excellent you realize that’s a dealbreaker for you now so you can recognize “Hey, this isn’t gonna work” and face it or move on. And while I love my friend dearly, she hasn’t always had a strong hold on money or been comfortable discussing finances. She grew up well-off and her family just never discussed things…

I watch Blackish because of her. She’s so great on that show.

No matter what, you’re doing it wrong. At least that’s the feedback I’ve gotten.

I’m in CA so that’s good to know. Thank you!!

Exactly - legal doesn’t necessarily = perfectly executed and no one is harmed or exploited.

I fucking LOVE White Josh; the same actor plays a really sweet character on The Middle and he’s so adorable I could just barf.

It’s sooooo good. I feel like I’m proselytizing every time I talk about it. My mom was visiting this week and I watched it while she caught up on emails. She had heard of the show, but thought it was some sort of reality/trainwreck show (based on the title) and hadn’t given it a shot but she was HOOKED. Ugh, I hate…

Ha, well, congrats anyway - keeping a person alive for 6 years is a big deal! :)

I think I love you.

Yes, and it is our obligation to adopt ALL the children and never pursue even the slightest treatments or options to have a child biologically.

It me.

I think it’s a small town thing (I live in the Bay Area and am admittedly out of touch so I could be wrong) to be sure. It all just seems weird and for the photo op.

Ha, no worries - just wanted to make sure you knew you were among friends.

All I can hear right now is Darrell Hammon as Sean Connery bellowing “The Penis Mightier” on SNL Celebrity Jeopardy.

IF ONLY my husband would think like that and quit dirtying dishes that he’ll never load in the goddamn dishwasher.

She’s already seeing someone and seems pretty happy; she’s smokin’ hot, has a great career/is financially sound on her own (in fact, her husband was kind of a liability in that regard), and is smart and just a great person. But her motivation wasn’t to leave him so she could find someone new; it was a situation where…
